n-type (not comparable)
(physics) (Of a semiconductor) in which conduction is due to the movement of electrons rather than positive holes.
n-type (plural n-types)
(mathematics) A set of formulas that have n free variables of a certain sort
Examples
At the junction of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor there forms a depletion region where current conduction is inhibited by the lack of mobile charge carriers.
A single semiconductor crystal can have many p- and n-type regions; the p–n junctions between these regions are responsible for the useful electronic behavior.
Boron nitride can be doped p-type with beryllium and n-type with boron, sulfur, silicon or if co-doped with carbon and nitrogen.
A hole can be created for a p-type dopant, and an electron for an n-type dopant.
Electrical polarity main As with all diodes, current flows easily from p-type to n-type material. citation However, no current flows and no light is emitted if a small voltage is applied in the reverse direction.
For example, positive Hall effect was observed in evidently n-type semiconductors.
